Rossi wants music lovers in Iowa wanting to enjoy 80/35 to know that the festival’s staff takes safety seriously.

“We are going to take precautions to prevent, like I said, anything that we can,” Rossi said.

Des Moines police said they do their best to monitor foot traffic in and out of concerts and large events but that the best thing concert goers can do it let police know if they see anything that seems suspicious.
